Thank you. I find the "don't you know you're voting against your own interests" a pretty arrogant argument. How do you know they are voting against their interests?

Did you read the article I linked? That's how I know.

The article is an opinion piece. You know, someone's opinion, not fact.

I didn't see anything in that article that was definitive proof that blue collar workers are voting against their own interests.

If you give a tax break to the rich, how is that against your own interests? You still have the same money you did before.

If everyone around me gets wealthier and I stay the same, I'm worse off economically, because all that new wealth affects the price of everything. Look at what happens to prices when an area becomes gentrified.
